Job description

Senior Civil Engineer – Leadership Opportunity

Are you a Senior Civil Engineer ready to take the next step in your career? Looking for more responsibility, greater involvement in business development and the opportunity to shape and lead a team?

I am working with a highly established and respected civil engineering consultancy, based in Central London, who are looking to appoint an ambitious Senior Civil Engineer to take a leading role in the development and growth of their civil engineering team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants more than just another Senior Engineer position. The business is looking for a motivated individual who can bring fresh ideas, take ownership of projects and play a key role in developing the civils offering.

The Opportunity

You will take a leading role within the civil engineering team, overseeing and developing technical capability across a varied portfolio of projects, including:

• Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
• Drainage and surface water management
• Highways and infrastructure design
• Civil engineering design and infrastructure projects

You will have the opportunity to take on increased responsibility, mentor and develop junior engineers, lead project delivery and help shape the future direction of the team.

Importantly, this is a business that genuinely offers scope for progression. For the right individual, there is a clear opportunity to develop into a more senior leadership position, with the longer-term potential to progress towards Associate Director and ultimately Director level.

What We're Looking For

• An experienced Senior Civil Engineer with a strong consultancy background.
• Good technical experience across highways, drainage and SuDS.
• Someone confident taking ownership of projects and leading technical delivery.
• The ability and desire to mentor, support and develop other engineers.
• A commercially aware individual who wants to contribute to the wider success of a business.
• Most importantly, someone ambitious who wants to take their career to the next level.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Joining a well-established consultancy offers the stability, reputation and project exposure you would expect, but with something equally important: the opportunity to make a real impact.

Rather than stepping into a rigid management structure, you will have the chance to help shape and grow the civils team, take on greater responsibility and establish yourself as a key figure within the business.

If you're a Senior Civil Engineer who feels ready for more, wants to lead a team and has ambitions of reaching Director level in the future, this could be exactly the opportunity you've been waiting for.
